NO. 07-057) <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />^ As Recommended <br />FOR ^ As Amended <br />FITTINGS ^ Ordinance on 15t Reading <br />^ Ordinance on 2"d Reading <br />^ Implementing Resolution <br />^ Set Public Hearing For_ <br />C Y MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Amend the contract with Wells Supply Company for brass water service <br />fittings by $23,000 for a total annual amount not to exceed $98,000. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Public Works Agency (PWA) Water Division delivers approximately 43,000 <br />acre feet of water to businesses and residents in Santa Ana. To do so, PWA <br />maintains an extensive distribution system that includes 20 active wells, <br />seven pumping stations and reservoirs, and seven import water connections, <br />as well as miles of water pipe. In order to perform maintenance and <br />repairs on this extensive system, PWA requires an assortment of materials <br />such as bushings, flanges, nuts, and stops. The materials are purchased <br />through the Central Stores warehouse for distribution. The contract for <br />brass water service fittings is designed to provide quality products at a <br />significant savings based on quantity pricing. <br />On September 3, 2008, the City Council renewed a contract with wells Supply <br />Company, a Santa Ana vendor, for brass water service fittings. An increase <br />in demand for items, including a large purchase of water spools and a wide <br />variety of non-contract item purchases such as clamps, tees, and copper <br />tubing, requires an increase in the current contract of $75,000. Staff <br />requests approval to increase the contract limit to Wells Supply Company to <br />provide uninterrupted purchases of brass water service fittings. <br />22H-1 <br />
